This is inevitable, yes, but I am also tired of people who pretend that it is good for any but the businesses who benefit. With very rare exceptions, it won't be good for those who lose their jobs in the US, though it does offer a benefit t

I would give that thought a lot more credence if you'd linked to a scientist, rather than Michael Crichton in the height of disingenuousness (on his part). Scary things lie at the end of that road if they are unsupported by the evidence. Un

If my point is correct, and the evidence, facts and data all align with it, then anything else I say is irrelevant. That's the problem, though -- people make these decisions based on emotions, vested interests, or what they wish were so, ra
